Age of Empires 3 Discussion

Message Board for PC version

I know you hear it all the time about people not knowing alot about computers (files to be exact) but I reall have a big mess here. I have been playing AOE 3 and all the expansions for a while now and really havnt been intrested in cheats or trainers. Well I decided to try one out and had my brother download one(from this website). I didnt work so I looked in the program files and some of them are different now. When you open the "DATA" file and then open "proto" file to enable cheats I find alot of jibberish. I know you might need more information but this is all I can tell you sorry! I would really like to know what has happened and how to fix it....

The jibberish is normal , that is the computers code so it knows how to run the file.The is perfectly normal .But if the game does not run properly i would suggest uninstalling the age of empires then re-installing .use that as a last resort tho.

I always open the "proto.xml" for some modding but nothing really happened but if anything happened to this file will stop the game working but reinstalling should fix if you got all of the games in the same folder it is very hard to find the right "proto.xml" for each and another thing what is the problem you are experiencing in the installing of the game?
